Used in fragrance formulations for its musk-like, earthy odor. It acts as a long-lasting base note in perfumes, enhancing scent stability and diffusion. Commonly found in fine fragrances, soaps, detergents, and cosmetics where a warm, skin-like aroma is desired. Its cyclic structure and alkyl chain contribute to low volatility, making it valuable for extending the longevity of scent in consumer products. Also used as a masking agent in industrial applications to cover unpleasant odors.
